The message also highlights perseverance as a pathway to spiritual maturity and deeper faith.

This is the final episode in this sermon series.  In this episode we study the heart of God and God's invitation to Jonah to reflect compassion, love and mercy.  

Jonah finally obeys and an entire city stops in its tracks. In this sermon we walk through chapter 3 and wrestle with two themes in Scripture: justice and repentance.  We'll close with a conversation betweenJesus and Pilate. 

From the belly of a great fish, Jonah prays. In this episode we sit with Jonah in the darkness of chapter 2 as he reflects on the choices that brought him there and discovers that grace has a way of finding us even in the places we never intended to be. 

His prayer is desperate and soaked in the language of a man fully in the hands of God.  In surrender we begin to see the outline of another who would descend into darkness and rise again, showing us that the deepest prayers are often prayed from the deepest places.

God hurls a great wind. The sailors cry out. Jonah sleeps. 

In this episode we slow down in Jonah 1:4–17 learning how to ask qood questions as we meditate and study on scripture. The questions will lead us to a powerful conversation Jesus has with a Canaanite woman in Matthew 15:21-28.

Who was Jonah really? Before we follow him onto the boat, we need to meet him. In part 2 of our series, Jonah and Jesus, we dig into Jonah 1:1–3 to uncover who this prophet was, what he already knew about the God who was sending him, and why that knowledge may have been precisely why he ran.   

And as we read Jonah, we continue to discover how Jesus showed his disciples in Luke 24, the whole Old Testament whispers his name. We're learning to read with those ears — slowly, meditatively, not just for information but for transformation.

What if the Old Testament is less a rulebook and more an invitation to encounter Jesus? In this series, we open the book of Jonah through the lens of Luke 24, where the risen Jesus himself teaches his disciples how to read Scripture — and everything changes. 

Together we'll slow down, meditate, and discover deeper layers of grace, repentance, and mission hidden in a story you thought you already knew. Join us as we read not just for information, but for transformation.
